"...I'm not so extreme as some of the people here"
Skiing
Cardrona has steep, tight gullies and broad gentle bowls with 600 m of vertical it's a great all round family field. The 2021 season will include for the first time a new lift in the adjacent Soho basin and we just cant wait. Under an hour door to door from the house. http://www.cardrona.com

Snow Farm is a cross country field atop the Pisa range. Overnighting in a high country hut is not to be missed. Especially with a full moon lighting the snow. http://www.snowfarmnz.com/
